Artist's Statement:

I'll Follow the Sun was inspired by Mary Gasperik's Star Arcturus quilt. I liked the heavenly theme and choice of bright colors with a pale background. The quilt looked "modern" to me. Instead of a star, I made a sun. I'm a California girl. It's great to be where the sun shines 'most' the time.
